Vedas 2 - The Vast Vedic Literature Of Hymns & Prose Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Vedas 2 - The Vast Vedic Literature Of Hymns & Prose
The Samhitas are vast literature
That comprise Hymns in praise of
The Indwelling God
That resides in all beings;
The sacrificial methods and methodology; And
The Litanies - A series of Vedic prayers!
The Brahmanas comprise
Theological literature
In prose format,
Texts pertaining to sacrificial rites,
The mode of operation of the rites,
The execution of the formulas.
The Aranyakas are exemplary
Teachings so profound
That leads you towards a state of
True dispassion and detachment
To become a Recluse -
To be a ‘Sanyasin'!

This is interesting. Now, at the risk of sounding very ignorant and also offensive maybe, can I ask you if the hymns that are spoken of here has anything to do with the Bhajans or present day devotional songs, or these were something entirely different? Thanks for sharing Dr. Menon.
All souls are pure. Thanks a lot dear Red Soul! Answering your query, the Bhajans, sung these days are in praise of Indian Deities like Krishna, Rama, Devi, Ganapati, , Hanuman and so on. Vedic Hymns are very different. They sing in praise of the elements of Nature like the sun, fire, water, wind and earth.
I am very happy, dear Poet, you have changed your name to Red Soul. This sounds good. In fact, i had decided to suggest that the word 'Idiot' be removed, Speaking as a philosopher, there is no Soul in this world who is an Idiot.
